This started out as a discussion following LJ's alternate 90s poll; use this thread to highlight acts both well-known and obscure from the 90s that made dance music you enjoyed. The general guideline here is to stay along the techno/house/dnb/rave/new beat/big beat/trance axes; there was a ton of awesome hip-hop and RnB in that decade as well but that's not is being recommended here. (I could probably fill an entire thread with New Jack Swing selections, ha.)

This likely doesn't translate as well as it should because your computer headphones/speakers likely won't convey how monstrous the BASS is, and that is the first minute and a half of the track. I recommend hearing this on a decent system, though, as it really is about a bazillion different shades of awesome once everything kicks in.

though after some deep consideration I didn't vote for it in the 90s poll cz everyone has a best 1994 jungle mixtape ever in their collection so probably not much chance of anyone else voting for the same one
